Toyin (Newcastle upon Tyne)
Seeking a book club
I live in Newcastle. I love reading, but haven't done so much reading outside academic and work related books. I am an author myself. But I want to get back into reading and think having a group will be helpful. Genres of interest are, christian faith, relationship building, wealth/money, and autobiography. I will like to connect with you if any of your genre aligns with mine.

Cameron (Newcastle upon Tyne)
Seeking a gaming group
Very new to DnD. I'm 26, and I'm looking for a group of players around my age that doesn't mind someone who is an amateur. I'd likely start out as a player myself before trying to be a DM. I love fantasy games like World of Warcraft, and of course BG3. It would honestly be great to connect with people, and potentially make some new friends along the way.

Eleanor (North Shields)
Seeking a book club
I’m in my 50s and am looking for people who would be interested in getting together once a month or so in a sociable setting for an evening book club. The aim would be to cover thoughtful and well-written classic or modern fiction. (I don’t generally enjoy romance, fantasy, science fiction or crime myself, so I’d want the focus to generally lean away from genre fiction). Ideally the venue would be in North Shields or Tynemouth, but I would consider alternating venues to suit everyone in the North Tyneside area. Any takers?

Adam (Sunderland)
Seeking a gaming group
Hi, I'm a 26M and I've been playing DnD with my friends online for over a year but as I live far away in person sessions aren't very possible. I'm hoping to meet some local people to make some new friends and play DnD with. I also enjoy playing different board games and some of my current favourites are Coup and Fall of Kingdoms.

Hiya, so I'm Kyle, been a massive fan of D&D for many years, but only recently took the plunge and started to really delve in, and now I'm at the point where I'd love to maybe attend my first ever IRL game. So I'm looking for a group near me that'd be open to a new adventurer joing their table...
